Hi Magnus,

Great plug mate! Finally got it working on the board.
By any chance, do you know how to get the info to a vbadvanced frontend? I'd also like to see on the frontpage who's online.

Thanks!

does it work with 3.7?

It should work fine.

I am confused as to where exactly to get ventrilo_status.exe The only file I find close to that is ventrilostatus.php in the PHP Ventrilo Status Scripts package.

All information is included in the original post:

Well, after getting vB updates that this is OK to use, I tried again. I tried 4 times in the past and no workie. I understand that all have different issues and most can be resolved with time and patience.

First, let me say I have 2 other Vent status working fine
www.jettclan.net and www.jettcommunity.com

The server host is configured properly or I would not be getting correct information on my pages. I thought this would be cool and never can get it to work.
See attached config for your script and associated screenshots.

Again, I understand that their will be different issues, but when a lot of the posts here say they have the same issue, one must assume that either it dosnt work in some configs, or instructions are not clear enough. I am not trying to come off as a ass and I apoligize if I am, but this script would be cool if it worked with my site and config and it dosnt.

So, I either do not understand the instructions or it will not work with my config and the other vent status scripts that ARE working on my site is a act of god. :D

Again, I apoligize if I am coming across like a ass, I realy am one but do not want to be one to you.
I also talked with my host for the page, used the right ventrilo_status for BSD and they said it should work, for whatever that means.

This hack is nothing more than a frontend for the Ventrilo Status Scripts. If you believe the problem lies within this hack, I would suggest downloading this package and getting ventrilotest.php to report everything is OK. If after that this hack still does not work, we can proceed further.

The setup on this can, at times, be tricky -- which makes it hard, if not impossible, to dutifully suport. All I can say is, try getting the scripts in the link above (namely ventrilotest.php) to work first -- be sure you have permissions set correctly as well as the absolute path. If you do get it working, the same settings used in the configuration file can be applied to the hack settings within vBulletin.

Without direct access to the server myself, that's really the most I can offer.

If someone's username, for example, is </er> it is rendered as html. could lead to an interesting exploit... needs some htmlentities() loving

Aside from the fact that this was patched in the 1.1 release, the Ventrilo client/server packages do not allow specific characters in usernames as well they have character length limits. So, unless someone writes a custom Ventrilo client and/or server with these restrictions removed, the exploit is basically theoretical.

Giving this a shot but thus far i am unable to figure out why it doesnt work properly. Here are somethings that might be useful for support.

I use ventrilo.org I have emailed them and they said I should be good to go as they have preconfigured their servers so that the status script can do its job

My host is unix based. I have downloaded and tried I think all server files and have tried each of the ventrilo_status files in each one just to make sure i didnt miss anything and yes I have put cmod them to 755.

I guess the best i can hope for in this situation is to be told exactly which ventrilo_status to use, then ill just have to do some more trial and error maybe somehow I wrote down the path to the status file incorrectly.

thank you in advance.
